Speaking in very general terms, I'd say theme of Doctor Who series one was the Doctor's relationship with himself - coming to engage with life again after the Time War. The theme of series two was the Doctor coming to terms with his love for Rose. Each series had a huge cosmic scope, playing the theme in various ways in each episode.
I find that Torchwood fan writing has so far taking an unusually narrow scope - using the Hub as the setting, not doing much in the way of massive AUs or potentialities, but sticking close to the characters and events we see. Being introspective rather than speculative. This is neither good nor bad, just an interesting way for it to have gone.
